Men and Religion Bulletin No. 5 THE HOUSES IN OUR MIDST A CONFESSION Corruption, Political and Otherwise FIVE FACTS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE hirst. SEDUCTION of girls is made certain, frequent and profitable by the houses in our midst. The houses must have inmates. The inmates ean be only prostitutes. A prostitute is a fallen woman. A fallen woman can he obtained only by seduction. They die in five to seven years from being bought and sold. Hence the sign of “girls wanted” must be frequently given the trade. Over $700,000 per annum is the volume of trade in our houses You. through your officials, who have sworn to enforce the law, and do it not. are responsible for this. Second. DISEASES, the most malignant and deadly, are spread among the innocent by the houses. One of these maladies was formerly regarded as no worse that a “bad cold.” Some doctors estimate that 50 per cent, others 90 per cent, of men have it. Once regarded as a joke, it is now known to be a source of disease of the prostate* gland among men. blind eyes for their children, and suffering and death to their wives and babies. Twenty per cent of Americans, according to a medical authority, are now suffering from the other malady, which, beginning with an eruption, like a slow fire devours the bones, muscles, arteries and viscera. Sometimes the features are eaten away. Doctors say that in three years all prostitutes are infected ufith both diseases. Both may be transmitted to the innocent by towels, furniture, drinking cups, and door knobs. The first, second, third and fourth generation of children bear the blight. You help to scatter it by the failure of your officials to keep their oaths of office. Third. PROSTITUTION has never been confined or segregated in a district of Atlanta. The evil was not scattered by the attack on Collins street, the former so-called segregated district. It was already scattered, as is ever the case where segregation is supposed to be in force. When good men dared do no more than ask that the houses be moved from th? neighborhood of the churches and the Boys’ and Girls' High Schools, the solemn farce of selecting another segregated district was enacted. An injunction then was required to move the evil from the doors of our schools and churches, so zealous were our officials in the non-enforcement of law. You. through your officials, who broke the laws of God and of man. refused to disturb our official market for seduced girls and the municipal source of foul diseases until a new site had been sanctioned and prepared for these desirable interests. Fourth. SEGREGATION is an unbearable pretense, mak ing a few rich and enriching all with corruption. The evil has been found in hotels and assignation houses. More than thirty-three of the houses are scattered. Only eleven are in the segregated district. But seven of these in the district pay their owners $43,074.00 per annum rent. The thirty-three pay their owners only $19,317.60 per annum rent. The advertisement of the city’s approval and protection produces large returns to the favored few. Your share of the reward may be the blighted blood and bones of sons now near ing manhood and the blind eyes of the children of these growing sons, who are being falsely taught by your actions that it is necessary and right for a man to gratify his lusts, and that he may do so with the approval, protection ®nd participation of At lanta in this district. You. through your officials, who arc disregarding the law. are enriching the few and smearing yourself and all with this slime of corruption. Filth. OUR MAYOR, when asked to appoint disinterest ed citizens to investigate With a view to suppressing this evil in Atlanta, aopomts a min financially interest ed in a house of ill fame a member of the Vice Com mission. Unquestionably, many of our officials and Mayor Winn have been conscientious. Most probably the mayor did not know of th? property* interest of the man ap pointed Possibly the man is not conscious of wrongdoing. This would only better illustrate the persistent and insidious course of the poison. One who has studied this problem in cities says; “ Prostitution, protected by a thick hedge of secrecy, imperceptibly renewing itself through changing administrations, is the one fixed point of maladministration. The corruption spreads until the brothel, the saloon and the gambling hall are the trio literally at the base of the administra tion of our cities.” , You and we. through these officials, who are setting at naught our laws, which they have sworn to enforce, are helping to maintain public places for the sale of seduced girls, and for spreading disease and moral and political corruption. Atlanta, when her shame is realized, will not endure it longer. The coming dawn of the day of reckoning is even now pending shafts of light above the horizon. In Christ's name awake!
